CRATER LAKE VIEWS SUGGESTED BY KISER Panoramic Pictures of Southern Ore gon's Greatest Attraction Sug gested for Seattle Fair. Financing the new Medford pam phmlet will be the special order of business at the meeting of tho Med ford Commercial club tonight. The soliciting committees, which have had the matter in charge, will report the result of their efforts and it is ex pected, as a result, a systematic can vass of tho city will start at once. Another matter that will come up for immediate action is the proposed ..i.:t.:i , n... ti....i.n v. r..:f:,. exposition. A proposition from Kiser, the photographer, will he received, to make a panoramic representation of Crater Lake, similar to those of the Grand Canyon of the Colorada, and the Yosemite and Yellowstone, which attracted so much attention at previous expositions. Crater Lako is better adapted for this kind of rep resentation than any of the other scenic wonders, nnd an exhibit can be made that will attract the attention of every visitor to the exposition. As it is, Medford will practically have nothing in the way of represen tation at the fair unless Mr. Riser's offer is accepted.

ABANDON HOPES OF PAVING EAST MAIN Property owners of East Main street have abandoned hope of pav ing that thoroughfure this year, al though no street needs it worse in winter. It is regarded as useless to puvu until a sewer is laid, and the expense of both sewer and paving is greater than the property owners feel warranted in standing. The street might be paved and the sewer extended down an adjacent al ley, if these were an alley, but there isn't any alley laid out on either side, so the paving program will probably be abandoned for this year. But it wasn't a circumstance com pared to the fun those young ladies will have as tho guests of The Tribune at the A-Y-P exposoition. NO OIL MONEY FOR COLLEGES OF OREGON PORTLAND. Or., April 20. Col leges in Oregon will not share in the distribution of .f 1.1.000,000 of the John I). Rockefeller fund.

Albany and Pacific colleges. The institutions would have to scatter over a bigger area to get part of the funds.

ROGUE RIVER COAL FIELDS 100 MILES LONG Chief Geologist Oilier Issues Report on Local Cual Beds, Extending From Evans Creek to California. ' SERIES OF SMALL i i BELTS ON SHORE LINE J. 8. Diller, chief geologist of the I'nited States geologicul survey, who made a cursory examination of locol coal fields last summer, has written an official report of tho Rogue River valley coal fields in Bulletin 341-C of the geological survey, which is now ready for free distribution and may bo obtained upon application. The following summary of the report is issued from Washington: Hundred Miles Long. I Coal occurs at many localities in ; tho Roguo River valley of southwest lern Oregon, between tho Cascade 'mountains on the cast and the Klam alh mountains, localled the Siskiyou ; mountains, on the west. A long, nar row coiil belt stretching to tho south land southeast in the Roguo River i valley east of Medford and Ashland, Or., and continuing through the Sis kiyou 'mountain divide into Califor nia a total of nearly 100 mi!os. I The principal prospects in this belt , hnvo been made near Medford and 'Ashland, but others have been made 'on Evans creek to the north, nnd near iAger, in California, to the south. Mr. Diller states, however, that although ' the coal beds have been prospected .at six localities between Kvans creek and Ashland, a distance of 40 miles, : the evidence thus far available does ; not indicate the continuity of the ! same coal beds throughout that dis ' lance, but rather the development of I small beds a few miles in extent par 1 illel to the coal belt and to the old shore line along which the cegetation : accumniulated in swamps to form J coal. The coal in these beds shows t decided improvement toward the northeast. Sources of Power. At present the coal beds from Ager ! to Kvans creek have only local inter jest as the source of fuel, but if de railed investigations in the future j should show these deposits to be more j extensive than is now supposed, the ; coals may become, with improvement in gas producers, important sources 'of power. !
